View Full Version : Two Guys Garage show
Does anyone know if there is any way for someone to watch tomorrow's show without access to cable tv? I've got Netflix and Amazon but neither lists it and so far I haven't found any friends who have that channel? Thanks.

Just watched it on the two guys garage site on line. On line it is commercial free, 6:42 seems short but then it's a half hour show and this is but one segment in that show.

Only 6:42? They hardly talked to Dave, and most of it was donuts in the parking lot. I hope thats not all of it.

Don't worry ,much if you miss it. I watched it on the DVR last night and it wasn't that great. Very nice exposure for FFR for sure but the host is over the top like he had three 5hour energy drinks right before the show.

Watched the show at 6am (PST) and thought it was great exposure for the build school and their association with FFR over the years.

It was good exposure for the build school. Having been to the build school, I was looking forward to it.
It was a typical Two Guys Garage show. Blatant commercialism, idiotic dialogue, stupid donuts(as noted).
Commercial for Painless Wiring was not indicative of what came with my kit.
Disappointing.

Watched it Saturday morning. Great exposure for Mott and Factory Five. I had hoped for more actual build footage, but realize it is only a half hour show. Typically do not watch Two Guys Garage at the present time, I can only take so much of the dialogue from Willy B.

So dissapointed by that episode. As someone who is planning to attend the build school in February, I was hoping for some legitimate coverage.
The build coverage was awful - spent more camera time on the guys and the annoying host. (How do idiots like this get TV spots?)

Don,t let the guys from Two Guys Garage jaundice your impression of the build school. The build school was well done, loaded with tips/tricks, and a chance to hang with like minded car people. The build school is a must.

The show was good exposure for the build school. Did't Dave say that the 818 will be included in the future? The show went down hill since Bryan Fuller left to start his own shop. Kevin Byrd is the only reason I still watch, I grit my teeth when Willy B talks. :p

The build school staff did an excellent job. Thise guys have taught almost 2,000 students in more than 10 years! The format of the show is what is is indeed! In person, Willie B. is a ton of fun. The guy has an UNBELIEVABLE car collection and he's quite a gearhead. Its a shame that the show wasnt an hour (like Car Warriors) because there was a ton left out! The show guys like smoky burn-outs and hooliganism (I have been known to do that ahem) so thats what they showed, but I agree it was overdone and the content could have been more.
I was happy with the show because we are trying to bring the news of the build school to more people and that it was successful in doing that. Beyond even the low rated network, we are re-purposing the video (cut down to 12 minutes without commercials) on our website and promo uses so that guys who wonder if they can do this project can find out about the class and maybe build one first! No other kit car company offers a class like this (probably for good reason) and we are super lucky to have their work!
Todd, Charles, Jim and the entire staff at the school are really great. The instruction is top notch, and the heart is in the right place. We'll do more broadcast in the future, for example we are going to do an all-womens build and havent agreed to the network or show format yet. Each one has their strengths and weaknesses.
The best legacy in the world is that almost every single person who takes the class feels that it is worth the time and money and they are happy. I love it because it helps guys build better cars and spread the word. I'd LOVE some of our competition to try and offer the same!!!

2000 people have attended the build school? That is amazing! I am sure that number will only increase as they begin offering the 818 class.
Every person that has posted anything about the school has said nothing but positive things.
I hope that FFR can get hold of the raw footage and edit it into a nice video of the school and the build process.
I think the Two Guys Garage folks can only help increase awareness; the posted concerns notwithstanding.
At least that's how I see it...
